Paricatuba Waterfall

This waterfall, located on the right bank of the Negro River, along a small tributary, is formed by sedimentary rocks, surrounded by abundant vegetation. Access is by boat. The best time to visit is from August to February.

We left at 15:30 on Ferry Dolphin Navigator, the port of St. Raymond, the trip takes about an hour, we enjoyed the scenery of our Rio Negro, and we were watching the work of fixing the pillars of the bridge linking Manaus to Iranduba.

The tide is very large, the ferry can no longer contribute in Cocoa Perera - the community is doing a petition to the Denit, in order to sensitize the authorities of the Ministry of Transport, to make a place to make dredging of the navigable year.

The most viable option for discharge is the tip of the Pottery, is a few miles above, which results in longer transport and high cost for shipowners, the crossing of the Jet Boat costs $ 5.00 per person - with output port Manaus (Rodoway) and the ferry is charged $ 30.00 per passenger car.

We headed straight to the village of Paricatuba, access is Highway-10 AM - Manaus / Manacapuru, up to 21 km, we enter into an extension of 10 km.

We were staying at the home of Paul and Mrs. Rosangela Mamulengo, the yard is the beach of Paricatuba, head straight for a tent Ze Augusto, has yet to enjoy the sunset.

To our surprise, some students made Manaus one of Rave on the beach, the sound rolled until seven in the morning, do not enjoy electronic music, I preferred to go to a liner / Brega of the natives.

Early in the morning, we take our coffee and bread and headed for the waterfall Paricatuba aboard the boat Consciousness, property Filho, the trip takes around one hour, due to the limits of the vessel.

The waterfall is a wonder, though small, the water is so cold it hurts to the shin bone! The place is very clean, has many stalls selling drinks and baked fish, a delicacy! At noon came several buses and cars, access is an extension of 24 km-10 Am. According to some residents, the source of the stream is 40 km Miriti in Rio, the city of Manacapuru. The place is so nice that I remembered from my childhood, to bathe in the waterfall Tarumã, today is an open sewer.
13h20mim to return to the village, then we headed back to Manaus, Rio Negro in the middle of a torrential rain fell to soften the heat, we were light and stress-free, with strength to battle one more week in the capital. Paricatuba is a paradise, I'm homesick, I'm thinking of taking a week's holiday there, sure to be a good option.
